trayvon left 7/11 at ~6:24pm. the 7/11 was 0.8 miles from brandy green's apt. zimmerman did not spot trayvon until 7:11pm. that's 47 minutes after trayvon left the store. had trayvon simply been "walking home from the store" he would have been home long before Zimmerman ever had a chance to spot him.

and remember, trayvon was still a considerable distance from BG's at the time Z first saw him. trayvon had covered less than 1/2 mile in 47 minutes. obviously he was doing something other than simply walking home from the store.

Yep he was, review the trail tapes (they are all available on YouTube) and look for the testimony of the phone company executive. Phone records show that Martin was on the phone during that time, with IIRC, Rachel.

the phone records show that he was on the phone with her for ~16-18 minutes during that time. even if he had been standing still the entire time, that leaves him 29 minutes to walk less than 1/2 mile. again, taking all of the evidence into consideration, Trayvon was doing something other than simply "walking home from the store".

fwiw, I can walk 2.5 miles in 29 minutes and I'm a 50 y/o man with two bum knees.
